Hi all,

One of the members asked that I share the responses I've gotten.
Rather than share all the words people have taken the time to
provide I'll summarize it by simply saying:

The responses are for the most part positive. Ranging from
just positive to very positive to enthusiastic. No one said
"I wish I hadn't bought the P1000".
The replies came from a variety of user skills/experience.
Probably the single most common feature people praised was the
extremely long zoom capabilities - and that many people are
even using their P1000 (or 950) instead of a spotting scope.
There are also some "limitations" of the P1000.

One person replied by providing a link to a youtube review he
did of the P1000. Although he did not post that link I'm
going to do so here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTnCkqYySK4

since it's a youtube. I consider this one of the best reviews
of any technical item I have ever read ... simply because it is
both well written -and- is based upon a real person's experiences
and he clearly tells you about his "biases" with respect to
choices for camera gear (and specifically camera gear for a
birder).
